So it's almost a psb . If you have 17 outs, which I doubt, it's only just a call. So I think you have to fold as you are probably crushed. Do you think he called in flop with worse? 10 was a blank. You think he has a5ss or similar? Why raise flop?

Player is extremely LAG call station, likes to try to throw his weight around, make hero calls with bottom pair, and isn't good at all. I'm raising flop because if checked to him like it was here he's betting every time. I have top pair and a gut-shot and can pick up more outs on the turn if he calls, as I did, although I was expecting him to be done with the hand once I raised. Once he flatted it I figured he's only doing this with 2 pair+ or a set and planned on checking turn back if he didn't fire, or folding.

These were all good reasons to not raise.

I would just call the flop because my hand is good enough to call, but not good enough to raise and call a reraise/or gii. You have backdoor equity too so you dont want to get blown off it.

I don't like raising flop. Even if V is LAG we are still bloating the plot with a vulnerable hand that can easily be behind or in bad shape. Let us remember, LAG players can have hands too. I am just calling the flop, as played I am folding the turn.

Makes sense.. I figured often enough he was checking back the turn if I raised. I folded, V didn't show
